Divine Vision

Allah created mankind for the sole purpose of His recognition, to disclose both His beauty
and majesty so that He is loved ardently. On the day of Divine covenant, the grandest
responsibility of Trust of Allah was only taken up by man in the entire universe. Allah
bestowed such affection and consideration upon man that whenever he went astray
forgetting this promise in the world, he was reminded of it through the leadership and
guidance of Prophets who not only reminded it but also prepared him to succeed in the
‘examination of loving Allah above every other relation and thing’. The last Prophet,
Mohammad, for whom this universe is adorned, reminded people of the forgotten lesson
of love and gave a complete code of life through the Quran and Sunna.

Veils in the way of Allah

  • A sin which is committed because of lust may be forgiven but a sin because of arrogance cannot be forgiven. Prophet Adam’s sin was due to lust but Satan’s sin was due to arrogance. (Asrar-e-Qadri)
  • The one whose inward is not true to shahada is a hypocrite. . (Mehak-ul-Faqr Kalan)
  • Those who prevented themselves from the veils of innerself which include covetousness, greed, jealousy, arrogance, lustful desires and other evils, they beheld Allah unveiled and immersed in the word of Allah without any questioning as if pearls are beaded in a string. (Kaleed-ul-Tauheed Kalan)
